My family finally got it this past Fall. We are all fully vaxxed and boosted.

Minor cold-like symptoms, never any fever, but about 4 days of extreme fatigue.

First bout a little over a year ago? Down for three days with the too-bad-to-believe fatigue some people get.

Hahahhaah you "got up to pee and had to lay down?" lololol

I got up to pee and had to lay down. It sucked. Some aches, brain fog that go around, no breathing issues, flu-type stuff at all. Did have some mild aphasia stuff that was probably long-covid related for about 8 months.

JUST got over it again a week ago. This time one half day of much more mild fatigue, aches, then two days of sniffles and a sinus headache. No sign of weird aphasia.

My dr told me to rest, rest, rest. Even if you feel like you can do something, DON’T. Also a raging sinus infection a couple weeks after you feel better is pretty common post covid this winter.

I have heard all the stories from " the good" to "the bad" to "the ugly"...but you may want to put out a question about Paxlovid...the after you get covid med.

I had it right after Easter '22. Some coughing, mild fever, but mostly I alternated b/w days of great energy to feeling like someone hit me with a brick (no energy). The worst was really Covid brain. I just couldn't keep things in my head for about a month.

Yikes that’s tough and I’m sorry to hear that, again I’m not trying to be a jerk I just wanted to point out that other techniques exists. I see a lot of people going full bore shoveling heavy snow in giant scopes at the limits of there strength which is a great way to blow out a back. I hope your back improves I know it can be a tough road.

I don’t know if I’ve been lucky, but I haven’t had any symptoms, so I haven’t gotten Covid. I took the J&J version of the vaccine.

Yeah, and a lot of it is in the shade, so with the warm days and freezing nights ahead, it'd be a total shitshow if I didn't take care of it now. At least the driveway and front steps get sun. Just went back out to do the end of the driveway again since the plow came by and pushed what I have to imagine was basically white cement back across it.
